Collecting Pivotal Platform logs and metrics

Pivotal Platform's Firehose provides a stream of monitoring data, including application logs and component metrics. To access these metrics, developers can use the cf CLI or third-party nozzles such as Pivotal Healthwatch, which surfaces key platform metrics and status checks in a web UI. Other tools like PCF Metrics offer visualizations of application performance and resource utilization, while Metrics Registrar allows developers to emit custom metrics from their applications. System logs, including component syslogs, can be accessed through the Ops Manager or forwarded to an external service via rsyslog.
